All the information you need to know about TV coverage of the draft can be found below.

This main purpose of this post is for you to discuss anything regarding the NHL Draft.

Trades, picks, etc., is the topic at hand.

The show will focus on interviews with the projected top five Draft picks, player profiles and team draft histories, highlights of their mock draft and predictions, interviews with players, general managers, and scouts from the draft floor and will bring viewers up-to-speed on all the latest NHL news and transactions.

Comments

Take note: Rounds 2-7 of the draft will be streamed online on NHL.com, and as far as I know, they do not geo-block their piggybacking of TSN’s coverage, so Wings fans living abroad, you’ll see the Wings’ picks.
